Blank Day 2

There's only one thing worse than waking up and not feeling like anything: when it happens twice in a row.

That's what today is, and since I'm still feeling all lazy about it, you'll just have to deal with this until the 'morrow.

Blank Day

I woke up today and I didn't know what to do with myself. I still don't. Maybe that's what happens when you're sleep deprived.

Ah, well. I suppose I could do something productive while I'm up and waiting to go to work.

A Hero to Rise

Ideally, this post would have made a lot more sense if it had shown up two days ago. As you probably saw, that wasn't the case - I felt that I lacked sufficient time to post everything that's going to be on here today. You'll see why in a few minutes if you're not one of those jerks who skim this blog.

Anywho, two days ago was June 6, and if you remember your world history, it's the anniversary to World War II's famous "D-Day" - when an Allied invasion force consisting of thousands of Allied soldiers, sailors, and airmen break through Nazi Germany's "Fortress Europe" and breach the Atlantic Wall. The eyes of the world were upon them. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march[ed] with them. In company with their brave allies and brothers-in-arms on other fronts, [they brought] about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

(Author's Note: Eisenhower had a pretty good speech, I'd say.)

As a bit of a World War II buff, I happen to enjoy reading about the history and the (military) technology and I think remembering the sacrifices so many made on that day 68 years ago (or any day, really) should be something everyone should do - from thanking a living veteran for their services to their country to having a moment of silence remembering those who've died for theirs. (Yeah... I totally remembered to do that last year. *headdesk*) And yes, I mean everyone. Note how I didn't specifically say "Americans" - while I believe most of my fellow countrymen are taking every bloody thing for granted, we're not the only country that seems to forget about the past (though I have to say that we're just the country with the most obnoxious citizenry).

In memory of the patriots who saved the world.

While I wanted to do my own special thing to commemorate the events of June 6, 1944, I lacked the time to compose this said thing on Wednesday. Alas, this is Thursday Friday, and that means that I should have the day off (at least in theory) I'm working later on today. Seeing as how it's holding true thus far, I think it's time we gave a salute to the men and women in uniform (before I put this off again). I don't care what country; I don't care what war - just give them some kind of respect or sign of gratitude.

Improvise

So instead of doing things that I wanted to do, I ended up doing other things that... well, weren't initially on my schedule. Plans seem to go south for me every bloody time, but I'm so used to it that I just stopped caring. It ends up becoming a day I can use on my own to do other things.

That's the point of today. That's what this is. Time spent on myself when I had other plans I could've spent with people... but since those plans keep falling apart, I had to improvise with other things.

Sounds heartless and possibly fruitless, but you know what? Maybe I'm just crazy or losing my mind or descending someplace I can't climb back up. Or maybe it's a sign of something happening... or maybe it's just me trying to salvage a good day out of a torn one.

Entry Under Construction

I felt like posting something cool today, but I can't. Surprisingly, it's not because I'm feeling lazy. It's more to do with the fact that I have work today and the glaring fact that I wouldn't have enough time between now and then to write everything down, gloss over what I typed to make sure it flows, make my edits, and post it. You have to consider the fact that I'm still in the process of waking up, have yet to take my shower, and need to run a quick errand before work - and with what I want to type up, it'll cause conflict with my schedule.

So, tomorrow. You'll definitely see it tomorrow. For now, I'm just going to get the framework on in done so I can do my other stuff. Until then, here's a picture to tell you why I said to remember yesterday.

The 2012 Venus transit. If you didn't know about this, you just missed out on an event that won't occur for at least another hundred years.

Until the 'morrow. *starts typing tomorrow's entry*

Strategic Pony

Time to roll out the big guns for this month. After four days of not posting anything decent in June, the tides turn and now... I strike the heart of monotony with my words... and my! Unholy! RANDOM! TAAAALENT!!! *cue overdramatic hammy acting*

Precarious for Black, is it not? If you don't think so, just wait 'til you see the rest of the board.

And now that the pieces are in position... let's play.

Pushback

Okay, so I lied again. (Typical me.) I'm over at a friend's house and hanging out with people, so I'm afraid the post I had scheduled for today will just have to show up tomorrow. Ah, well. Life calls, and that's more important than writing, I'd say.

Better Priorities

This has been one long and quite draining weekend. I can tell you that much. Unfortunately for you, since I'm in a Mario Kart mood and I feel like unwinding, I'm totally going to give y'all the shaft and tell you about things mañana (like old times, right?), so I guess you'll have to wait until then.

Gaining Loss

There are some days where we just lose... and some days where winning is inevitable.
And sometimes... that loss... that victory... can turn right 'round.

Sleepy Beginning

Thank goodness it's June. No more having to post more than a thousand words... no more stressing out because I need to type something big. *yawns* That's a good thing for me. I need my rest.

Now if you'll excuse me... *goes to sleep*
